About the Item
Elegant mid-century Mexican serving set featuring a round tray, water pitcher, and eight matching cups, crafted in solid brass with exquisite abalone shell inlay. Each piece showcases the natural iridescence of abalone, creating a captivating mosaic of pearlescent hues ranging from soft pinks and greens to shimmering blues and violets.
Designed and manufactured in Mexico in the 1950s, this set exemplifies the refined artistry and craftsmanship that defined mid-century Mexican decorative metalwork. The meticulous hand-cut abalone pieces are individually inlaid to achieve a stunning checkered effect, emphasizing both organic texture and geometric rhythm.
This vintage set remains in good overall condition with normal wear, light nicks, and tarnish consistent with age and use. A true statement ensemble—perfect for collectors, entertainers, or anyone drawn to the glamour and craftsmanship of Mexican modernism.
